My Rooted with Twrp Installed SM-T380 with Magisk on Android Pie (One UI 1.1) is having problems, I have a few Magisk and Edxposed Modules, A lot of apps, this custom boot animation: https://androidbootanimation.com/sa...shroom-vision-boot-animation-for-samsung-qmg/ , and a lot of apps, I used to only have to reboot every few days to keep the device smooth (If I would not restart, apps would not open), then it went down to every day, then a lot of times a day, it is annoying now so is there a way to fix it without factory resting? I want to know if any of you are working on a custom ROM for this device since I think Samsungs software is too much for this thing. If you want, I will send a list of my Apps, Magisk, and edXposed Modules.

FIXED ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY XPOSED
Please see bottom of post in red for issue and fix.
I am completely lost to what is happening / causing this.
My last steps re-traced:
Download GMail 5.0
Sent to phone
Used Titanium backup to remove old Gmail
Installed New Gmail
Rebooted Device
When it booted back up, i was present with a Newly wiped / formatted phone
All user apps - all Gapps have disappeared, Its like i have freshly installed a new ROM
Expect it still has my Accounts, Alarms and configurations to Nav Bar etc
(Running PAC Rom, but this is irrelevant as this has happened to me on 4 different roms now,
Stock, CM, AOSP)
Any idea what causes this, Just need a small push in the right direction please.
Issue was caused by Xposed, I installed a Module i have used many times before Xinstaller
It was this that broke the device.
Well not this specificity, But Xposed no longer responds, making your device boot up in a Clean State with no apps installed.
If you attempt to reinstall a App, it wont work, as the App still is installed on your device.
Disable Xposed by flashing the "xposed-disabler-recovery.zip" that is generated in the Sdcard when you first install Xposed.
If not please see here:

Something for future reference or if anyone else has a similar issue - Disable xposed boot up and clean up
I've had my Note 4 for a while and after a few Lollipop update incidents I finally after a lot of hesitation decided to root my phone (with the TWRP bootloader) and disable the update notifier. Since then, I've always stuck to the latest stock version of KitKat 4.4.4.
Since I've rooted my phone, I made the following modifications that require root priviliges: I installed XPrivacy mod, YouTube AdAway mod, NoSafeVolumeWarning mod, PlayPermissionsExposed mod, and CrappaLinks mod for the Xposed framework. I also installed Titanium backup to freeze/uninstall the updater and AdAway. After XPosed was installed I had to change a line in /system/build.prop to 'ro.securestorage.support=false' to make 'S Health' work again. I did that with the 'FX' app.
That's it, I had made no more modifications and the phone seemed to work quite well for a month or so.
Two days ago I decided to try out Instagram, I've been quite wary with social apps but figured Instagram shouldn't hurt and everything was fine. Then I installed a bunch of dating apps, I started with Match.com and Tinder. Tinder didn't work because it required FB and Match didn't work because it refused to, probably because of denied permissions with XPrivacy so I gave up on them and uninstalled them.
But I also installed OkCupid and Motesplatsen and enjoyed playing around with these apps. They didn't seem to interfere with XPrivacy and worked rather fine. Motesplatsen was rather intense with sending me notifications of girls who watched my profile and sent me (rather strange) messages whereas OkCupid was rather calm.
Then something strange happened.
Yesterday I started noticing that the battery was draining considerably faster than normal during normal day. It was almost empty whereas it usually is half full after a full day, I also noticed that the phone was unusually warm. I forgot to put it on the charger and woke up today with a dead phone. I put it on charge and after about an hour the battery was full again.
When I tried to turn on the phone it was stuck on boot loop. I first tried disabling XPosed by "touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled" using the 'terminal' tool in the TWRP bootloader. It didn't help. I tried flushing the cache/dalvik cache but it didn't work either. Then I did a total factory reset, but that didn't work. I noticed that during boot, the phone froze so hard that it doesn't even respond to button pushes. I had to take out the battery to reboot (that's one reason why I never will buy S6).
So then I decided to flash the phone with stock KitKat once again using Odin and that finally restored the phone.
Now, here's one of my questions, how can things go so bad with a phone that not even a factory reset will fix it? We're talking stock firmware here, albeit it is rooted.
What boot logs could be worth looking into when such a thing occurs and what is the easiest way to extract them? The terminal tool in the bootloader seems promising, plus I saw a 'copy log to SD' option which I neglected this time.
I'm puzzled, does anyone know what happened? I made no root modifications in the process of installing these apps and they don't advertise themselves as needing root privileges. How can a seemingly inconspicuous app directly from Google play **** a phone up like that?
I've come from owning iPhones my entire life. To bypass Jailbreak checks within apps all we did was install a .deb package from a repo (in most cases).
For Pokemon GO we had PokePatch.
For Snapchat we had Phantom (Phantom Lite nowadays).
And that was it.. you resprang your phone and your tweaks/apps were working. But after buying an S7 Edge (my first Android device ever) I've been getting super confused with getting Pokemon GO and Snapchat both working while being rooted. People are talking about systemless SuperSU which I understand, but also Magisk, but also suhide, but also pph super.
Could someone help me figure out how to get apps working (pass the Safetynet check) as of today? Coming from iPhone.. this is very confusing.
Note: I have latest TWRP installed for Recovery and adb is working perfectly. I also do not need Xposed. It would be nice to have, but if it makes things harder I can do without it.

Xposed on 8.1 How-to:
Required: Rooted with Magisk and Xposed installer 3.1.5 is needed for this to work.
I followed how some say to get it installed on here and just couldn't get it to install correctly. The way I got it to work on the first try is:
1) Download and install Xposed 3.15 from the link below,
2) open up the Xposed installer app and accept root,
3) in the Xposed app, click on the cloud next to the first option to install/update to 90 beta 3
4) reboot and profit.
The other methods work after numerously flashing from Magisk or twrp. But doing it once suits me fine.
The pros:
As Oreo becomes more developed by the awesome people here on XDA, more and more modules are available. So the best Pro there is, is that a lot of the modules work, too big of a list to go through, but gravity box, flat status bar, and neo power menu works definitely. Play around there is a lot working.
The cons:.
Okay so the biggest concern there is, it's the lag. I'm talking longer reboots, lag when waking device, switching from app to app, just feels like a sluggish phone after. Even the touch screen seems unresponsive at times. But if you don't care, by all means go for it.
Just thought I'd share this with everyone. Have a nice day.
Hello..
I have a One Plus 6T since 1 year and this is the first problem that I have..
I updated the phone a few weeks ago with the last update 9.0.17
Yesterday I did a Wipe data+cache to restore the phone like new..
But I have one problem.. I always disable the apps of google like Duo, Chrome, Youtube and Photos.. But once they are disabled in a few hours automatically they came enabled again.. Why!!???
I know that using adb I can delete those apps but I prefer to use the disable option of the system.. In the last versions of the OxygenOs this was working fine but not now and I know that there is more people with that problem. Anybody knows why,??
Many thanks for the help
I freeze some apps with sd maid as I noticed the same or similar issue
I believe is has to do with the OOS update. I had that problem as well before. I am rooted so I used Titanium to freeze the apps. When things update it appears the app is functional and does not reinstall it.
If you are rooted, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the xXxNoLimits Magisk module. It allows you to debloat both Google and Oneplus apps.
Many thanks for the answers.. I just want to use the tools that offer the system.. I think that is the last update because in the old ones this works like a charm.
I have not rooted yet the phone because I think that OxygenOS works fine without root maybe in the future I will start with magisk modules and custom roms but for now I'm going to wait.
I'll keep waiting for new OS Updates and maybe is solved. Many thanks for the help.
